Under the Market

Using slightly covert means, someone called “Nightcaller” has been taking photos inside the Markets and found their way under the floors, where these two impressive pieces of the Castle can be seen – this really whets our appetite to see more!!

Personally I find these images a little disappointing, not because they do not show the castle remains, but because they don’t tell us much we don’t already know.
It would be more helpful if there was a precise location. As for someone finding their way under the floors, I hope they used breathing apparatus as it must be pretty noxious down there at present.

It is indeed the bastion base, as excavated in the 20s. This area could be viewed by special appointment about 20 years ago when I did my in-depth study into the castle as a fledgling archaeologist wannabe. It was excavated to some depth down in to the moat, displaying a supposed cannon ball hole in the wall.
